Essential Oils Toolkit for Pyrrole Kids Headed Back to School
Ah, back to school. After a long hot summer, there is nothing like sending your gorgeous off-spring back to the classroom.
Unless of course, your kids are anything like mine and they hate school with a passion.
Don’t get me wrong my kids are bright and they do okay academically, but school is definitely not their ‘thing.’ Out of my 5 pyrrole kids only 1 of them hasn’t ‘hated’ school.
Carb Withdrawls & How to deal
Deciding to go cold turkey on your favorite carbs (yes, the same ones that are bad for you, but so delicious) could be the hardest time in your life. The fuzzy brain, the headache, trying to beat the urge to run away from home and the whine of “I’m hungry” from the kids (oh wait that’s not from the carb addiction).

Going Back in Time
So I’m going to go back into my own personal timeline and then take a short walk down humanities timeline.
I started figuring out my personal health issues because of my mad desire to help my kids out. Figuring out their problems helped me figure out my own. I now know that I have a MTHFR mutation and Pyrrole Disorder and this over time has caused a lot grief in my own health.

Anxiety is a bitch – Anxiety in Children is even bitchier
Anxiety in children has become a pretty common phenomenon these days. Have you got a stressed out anxious kid? It’s a terrible feeling for both them and you. It can make you feel pretty helpless as a parent when your child is distressed and you feel powerless to help them. I feel your pain momma, I have five kiddos who all suffer with various levels of anxiety.
Reduce the Toxic Load in Your Environment
I discussed in a previous article the role that oxidative stress plays in worsening Pyrrole symptoms. While we can’t control a lot of the toxins we are exposed to ‘out in the world,’ we can actively reduce environmental toxins in our homes. This is the first in a series of tips on how we can help reduce the toxic load in the home. We will work from room to room and look at ways we can reduce chemicals and other toxins in the home which helps to reduce oxidative stress and subsequently Pyrrole symptoms.

Pyrrole Symptoms come close to numbering in the 100’s and most of the advice you’ll find on reducing or alleviating symptoms involve taking supplements. Problem is, Pyrrole is not a simple disorder to work with or treat. There are so many co-factors and conditions that influence the symptoms that an individual might experience that there is no one size fits all treatment when it comes to supplementation.
Essential Oils – A Great Tool to Use with Pyrrole Disorder
Managing life with Pyrrole requires a multi-pronged approach. Diet, supplements, and environmental influences. One of my favorite tools is essential oils.

Ear Wax Mmmmmmm (I know, TMI)
Ear wax, we’ve all got it and that’s a good thing! Cerumen is the proper name for ear wax, and it is a substance that the human body naturally produces.
